What is the effect of motherese on development?Been wanting some answers to your questions for some time now. An aside - given my disposition and previous experience in interacting with infants (not my own), I know I will not baby-talk to my children. In several or so years time I may be able to provide a detailed case study. Hat off to Piaget.

Are there any standard tests to measure psychopathy?There's also a bit of an issue with how/if people differentiate pychopathy and sociopathy. I believe the general consensus is that antisocial personality disorder somewhat encapsulates the mental picture people have. Of this fascinating conceptualized idea of a human like... this would be.

Do people with ADD or Asperger's Syndrome often show different learning curves than neurotypical individuals?Thanks for this. From my own personal experience or point-of-view, I have been diagnosed with AS/ADHD-PI in the past... I generally think of myself as a "slow" learner, and I could totally relate to the "click" that occurs all of a sudden - once I reach that boundary, I feel like I either can or do understand everything (whatever it is that I'm trying to learn), magically. And I have a very good memory /only/ when it comes to something I feel I have learned to the point of clear comprehension. Ramble, ramble. YMMV?
